WSET Level 4 (WSET Diploma) Wine - Mastering Wine Production | The Vine Part 1: Vine Anatomy

Summary

この動画は、WSETディプロマレベル4の一環として、ブドウの解剖学についての無料教育コンテンツです。ジミー・スミスがホストとなり、ブドウの主要な構造部分である主な枝、一年生木、常緑木、そして根系について解説しています。特に、新芽、葉、蔓、花、そして果実の構造と機能に焦点を当て、枝の成長や剪定技術の影響を詳しく説明しています。さらに、ブドウの茎の構造、光合成の重要性、側枝の役割と管理についても触れています。この教育シリーズは、ワイン製造に関心のある方々に向けて、より深い理解を提供することを目指しています。

Takeaways

• 😀 The anatomy of grapevines can be divided into 4 key parts: main shoots, 1-year-old wood, permanent wood and root systems
• 🌿 Main shoots contain stems, nodes, internodes, buds, leaves, tendrils, flowers and berries - collectively called the canopy
• 🍇 There are compound and prompt buds on grapevines that produce the main and lateral shoots
• 💚 The stem transports water, nutrients and carbohydrates via the xylem and phloem
• 🍁 In autumn, shoots lignify and harden into wood and leaves fall off
• ✂️ Grapevines are pruned in late winter to shape them for the next growing season
• 🚜 Removing undesirable lateral shoots is hard physical work
• ❄️ Secondary bunches on lateral shoots often ripen later and can negatively impact wine quality if not managed properly
• 📝 The video is part of a WSET Level 4 diploma series on wine production
• 🍷 The presenter, Jimmy Smith, offers wine classes in London

Q & A

What are the four main sections that vines can be split into?

The four main sections are: the main shoots, the one-year-old wood, the permanent wood, and the root systems.

What is the process called where green shoots turn woody and brown?

This process is called lignification.

What do lateral shoots allow the plant to do?

Lateral shoots allow the plant to keep growing if the tip of the main shoot is destroyed.
